That guy in Ronin that Mamet wrote in for DeNiro to dunk on. I'm not sure why it bugs me that he thought that was the best way to get the audience to cheer for DeNiro, but it probably worked.

William Atherton was the king of 80’s movie asshole. From the recklessly spitefull by-the-book Walter peck, to the pompous professor Jerry Hathaway, and finally the arrogantly nosy Richard Thornburg. He fucking nailed it all.

I can’t think of many wonderful movie assholes in comedy as great as those Atherton 3 characters. Maybe Shooter McGavin and all the Tannen variants(?)
